Persona 5 Royal lets players answer questions during school exams to get precious social stats without wasting time.
A key part of any Persona game, on PlayStation or otherwise, is time management. A day in Persona normally has two periods of free time where players can hang out with friends, enter dungeons, or take part in other events. The trouble is that there’s a lot of missable content, making it important to balance grinding and fun.
Much of this missable content is gated behind social stat thresholds, with knowledge being one of the most important. The good news is that players have the chance to get boosts to knowledge without using free time on studying in Persona 5 Royal by answering questions in class.
Questions are asked on certain days throughout every playthrough. Most of these questions are based on real science and history, so answers can be found. The easiest way to get the school answers and answers to exams in Persona 5 Royal is to look them up based on the day. With that in mind, here is every answer for an entire playthrough.
Persona 5 Royal school answers
In Persona 5 Royal, various teachers will ask the player or a party member to answer questions. The player can answer the questions and will have the ability to help their friends. This can help to bolster their relationship with their friends or raise their knowledge stat throughout the course of the game.
A new addition to Persona 5 Royal is the ability to dodge pieces of chalk thrown by Mr. Ushimaru, one of the teachers. Like the pop quizzes, Ushimaru will throw chalk on fixed days during each playthrough. They are noted alongside the answers below as “chalk dodge.”

Exam answers in Persona 5 Royal
Across Persona 5 Royal there are four exams. Each exam takes place across three days and it serves as a major event within the game, rushing players through those days. In order to perform well on exams, players need to have a high knowledge stat and answer a series of questions correctly. These questions tie back to subjects discussed during the semester.
Here are all the exam answers:
Persona 5 Royal May exam answers:
- 5/11- Minamoto no Yoshitsune / Minamoto no Yorimoto / Yorimoto won / The weak

Worth noting is that while answering all questions correctly is necessary to score highly on exams, the knowledge stat is also of vital importance. If players haven’t grinded up their knowledge stat enough, they will not place highly.
What happens if I get an answer wrong in Persona 5?
If the player gets an answer wrong in Persona 5 Royal, there isn’t actually any sort of penalty. Players just miss out on the opportunity to get free social stats and bonuses with confidants.
While this might not sound like much, this is a definite missed opportunity. Leveling up social stats and getting points towards improving relationships with confidants without dedicating blocks of free time is quite important. Players only have so many blocks of free time to work with and each social stat needs to be maxed out in order to max out every confidant.
An extra block of free time spent studying is time that isn’t being used to eat giant cheeseburgers or babysit Ryuji. Though It’s much easier to complete everything in Persona 5 Royal than Persona 5 vanilla, players should still actively look to answer every question correctly. Time management here is much more important than it was in beat-em-up spin-off Persona 5 Strikers.
Can I dodge chalk in Persona 5 Royal?
Players can dodge the chalk by moving the left stick after Joker notes that he “feels a murderous intent.”
There is RNG that comes into play based on the proficiency stat, so players may want to save right before the event in order to reload if the check is failed. As with answering questions in school, getting free charm from these saves time for other things later on. Players should make an effort to successfully dodge every thrown piece of chalk.
